Patent Images
1. A system for use with a munition for detecting a target impact of the munition, the system comprising:
- a power supply having a piezoelectric material for generating power from a vibration induced by the munition; and
a processor operatively connected to the power supply for monitoring an output from the power supply and determining whether the output of power from the power supply has dropped below a predetermined threshold.
